Well this is terribly disappointing! After a veritabletwo weeks of post-election speculation about our future Secretary of the Treasury, with an endless parade of sexist buffoons and kindly forest-giants to choose from, Barack Obama goes for some dude named Tim Geithner who appears to be of normal stature and possessed of no serious personality defects. YAWN.

Let's review:

• President of the New York Fed.
• Youngish.
• Not bad-looking.
• Has worked for the Treasury for a million years, since 1988, under five different Secretaries.

JESUS CHRIST HE IS GIVING US NOTHING TO WORK WITH HERE. We'll just have to hope Obama goes with the half-Mexican womanizer for Commerce, as threatened.
